It is so frustating, the enemy always have beter chance to win and very little chance to counter attack. And the animation scenes is really great but the durations is too long it's getting old quickly without a way to skip it. Great demo game overall
Arsonate is a tense and atmospheric horror game, with visuals that really appeal to old-schoolers and emulates the mannerisms of Buckshot Roulette well, but with its own identity, even though we always refer to Klubknika's game. Here is my gameplay and ALL ENDINGS.
He flipped a card, got a crowbar and instantly stole my crowbar. I have to wait a turn before using any items if I get one. NVM I'M DUMB AS DIRT THAT'S HOW CROWBAR WORKS
This game hits the dopamine adhd part of my brain just right and doesn't let off I cant wait for the full releaseonly things i hope for are more items to use maybe some creepy bacground lore and maybe some music you can toggle on the radio
The art style is well-polished, we like the premise of the game, and it is well-executed! We didn’t have any issues playing and all had different outcomes!
The game is neatly done, and I love the fact that the fire behind the host gets bigger and bigger + the music is more dramatic. Great game and buckshot vibe!
Pretty cool take on the "genre" of creepy card games inscryption and buckshot roulette started.
Think the game doesn't hit as hard as those however, mostly because there's not really any building tension before things start getting crazy, kinda starts out at the top and just stays there so it's a bit lack luster.
The actual gameplay is pretty fun though, also the setting is unique compered to the other games I've seen like this. Think with a bit more depth and some more versatile items this could be very good : )
the insane polish on a gamejam game like this is exactly why soul deflated and barely anything was made this jam. This is just so good and seeing it on a channel I watch almost daily was just gazow man
uhhh i think i kept the dithering constant no matter the resolution,
the dithering itself prioritizes red colors the most,
and there's an additional light in the scene that tracks to pre-set positions, depending where u are in the room which are intentionally setup to make the dithering really dramatic/moody.

This is pretty nifty. The PS1-era graphics complement the gameplay nicely. They have this perfectly Silent Hilleque mood. Wishlisting now.
thanks!
Beautiful game mechanics. A fellow pirate will be supported today. Added the game to my steam wishlist
Game does not launch, it just opens the folder (using the itch.io desktop app)
delete all folders with "arsonate" in it and re-install.
I dont know why itch's launcher does this whenever i update the game.
very sorry.
awesome
😎
glad you enjoyed!
hope the full release goes well! 🙏
Alsome, illusion and the sfx are pretty good to Creating tension and fear. And also as a card game, it's fun and simple to understand rules.
thanks for playing!
One of the best games ever but normal i won but he still killed me.
He gets a lil crabby sometimes.
After I broke my opponent’s locker the screen froze…
sry abt that.
am unsure what could cause that....

Yes, I got situations where enemy can use multiple items after turn. And I need to wait to next turn to use my item, so unfair.
👍

Reminds me a lot of the Fire Tower boardgame.

Yeah it is a bit of a slow burn lol. I'm a bit lost on how i can improve the tension building but oh well.
This game is pure gem! Keep up the good work bro
Hope the full release sells well!
wait how many alternate title screens are there
wait THEY AFFECT THE ACTUAL GAME!? i mean there's now blood on the open game thing
Oh yeah when the Host the player, and they become the new host, your now dueling against your previous-self.
At the time, I just thought it'd be cool to keep the blood there. :)
really awesome detail
3 alt title screens currently. 4 in total.
uhh where's the mask?
Just finished first playthrough, such a great game
thanks for playing!
Wow, major Inscryption vibes here, I love that. This whole game is very polished. The graphics are so cool, and the card game is well made and fun.
emphasis on "major inscryption vibes"
Glad to see the polishing paid off!
thank you for playing this!
feels inspired of both inscryption and buckshot roulette, am i right?
right on the money.
the insane polish on a gamejam game like this is exactly why soul deflated and barely anything was made this jam. This is just so good and seeing it on a channel I watch almost daily was just gazow man
thanks!
love this
love it enough to buy it for $3?
The graphics look very nice. How did you make the posterization and dithering look so good?!?

really cool game ^_^
thanks!
so how come we can't use an axe or crowbar to pry/cut out the fire extinguisher on the wall?
the fire exitinguisher was a left over from earlier versions of the game.
didn't bother to remove it before release.
darn... well i still think it couldve been a cool interaction to get an edge over the host.
